This graduate-faculty research seminar is designed to bring together interested faculty and students on a continuing basis to cover topics on global history. It is part of History 2950A/B *Approaches to Global History* and includes both reading sessions designed for graduate students and research sessions open to the interested public during which students and faculty participants will present current research. Faculty participants will be drawn from several schools, and, most especially, from the group of fellows in global history who are spending the academic year 2025-2026 at the Weatherhead Research Cluster on Global History. Discussions will be moderated by Professor **Sven Beckert**.
